I read this in 3 days after not finishing a book all year. I don't know what it was exactly, but this book had me wrapped up in it. I loved having a gay main character I could relate to. And even the love interest I related to as well. it broke my heart when Ben was talking about homophobic family. I saw so much of myself in Ben and his struggle so accept himself as LGBTQ
